The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 101
The Lantern Festival has passed, and the Rongguo Mansion is busy with the new year. The most difficult person in this family is Mrs. Wang. In previous years, because of Sister Feng as an arm, Wang Xifeng was strong, and Mrs. Wang was happy to be a shopkeeper. This year is different, inside and outside the palace. , Big things and small feelings, piled up like a mountain.Even though Mrs. Wang has pushed back several invitations from several families, when she makes plans, thinks of something, or wants to ask about precedents, Lin Zhixiao's family will return to Mrs. Wang in fear, saying that Second Grandma Lian will have agreed to her long ago when she leaves. All the account books were taken away, and nothing was left behind.The angry Mrs. Wang became even more angry.

How much energy can Mrs. Wang have alone?Whenever there are important matters to make up for themselves, they will hand over the trivial matters at home to Assistant Li Wan.Li Wan was originally a person who valued morality rather than talent, so he indulged his servants arrogantly. Mrs. Wang couldn't do it, so she ordered Tanchun to contract with Li Wan to arbitrate.But thinking about what her younger sister Aunt Xue said at the beginning, Mrs. Wang became more suspicious of Tanchun, after much deliberation, she actually intended to ask Xiren to follow the director.

At this moment, the old lady sent messages back and forth, saying that when the Xing family invited all the wives and girls to Fangfei Garden to celebrate Miss Lin's birthday, Mrs. Wang was pulling Xiren to talk.

It was Fei Cui who was next to the old lady who came to deliver the message. Seeing that the attacker was there, Fei Cui smiled and said, "Aunt Qia Hua is also there, so we won't have to go into the garden to deliver news. Miss Xing said that Aunt Hua and Miss Lin are one day old. Ask Second Master to take you there for your birthday, and she wants to congratulate Aunt Hua on her birthday alone!"

Xiren blushed, and looked at Mrs. Wang shyly: "Madam, what kind of status am I, how can I have the right to trouble Miss Lin? Besides, the old lady likes Miss Lin the most. If I go, the old lady may not be happy."

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Look at what Aunt Hua said, it's true that the old lady likes Miss Lin, but what our wife values ​​is Auntie, and besides, Auntie has never been serious in the years she has been in the house. It's a birthday, and the Xing family slapped their faces swollen to pretend to be fat, so why should we be polite? We'll look down on her if she just talks about it!"

These words reached Mrs. Wang's heart, and Mrs. Wang, who didn't want to lead an attacker, couldn't stop nodding and said: "Go, go, now that you have a different status, you should also dress up." Mrs. Wang called Yu Chuan'er Take a burden: "This is a spring shirt made for Sanya, you take it first. In the past, you also picked out my clothes when I was young. Although the material is good, but the style is old, it is not as good as this fresh shirt."

Mrs. Wang seemed to be thinking of something, and suddenly sighed: "In our mansion, there is no one who can dress up better than Feng girl. If she is here, she can also support you. It's a pity."

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly said in a low voice: "If you want me to say, ma'am, this is all caused by the Xing family. Without their instigation, the second master Lian would not have made a fuss about getting separated. Now the elder master has recovered his senses." , It is said that the big house is non-stop day and night, and it is a face to the big lady every day."

Anyone who knew Jia She's character would know that Jia She was an out-and-out villain, because he was afraid that his own son and daughter-in-law would hurt him and forced Jia Lian to divorce his wife.Seeing Jia Lian's stubbornness later, he thought that there was a son Jia Cong beside him, so it would be better not to spend a penny and drive that prodigal son out of the house, and he would be happy.

Seeing Jia Lian's prosperous life now, Jia She secretly felt remorse, and he blamed all the big mistakes on the Xing family.Mrs. Xing was also unlucky, and Jia Amnesty had no choice but to go to Xing's house to make trouble, so she raped Mrs. Xing, and the whole family knew about the trouble, except that she kept it from Jia's mother.

Mrs. Wang sneered unknowingly: "See if the eldest lady has the face to go to the Xing's house." She whispered to Zhou Rui's family, "Go and see where your concubine is. If your concubine is not energetic and unwilling to move around, just tell her that the matter is over." It's a foregone conclusion, it's better to ask Bao girl to talk happily in front of the old lady, the old lady has always loved Bao girl's gentleness and generosity, maybe when she is happy, the concubine's difficulty will be solved."

The dissatisfaction in Xi Ren's eyes was fleeting, she didn't wait for Zhou Rui's family to leave, and hurriedly said: "Madam, why don't you tell me to persuade Miss Bao. We have always been good friends and understand her heart best, and now I am the second master. of."

Xiren lowered her eyelids shyly: "It's the second master's roommate. I'll go. Miss Bao must understand what my wife means. It will also save sister Zhou from embarrassment."

"Good boy, it's hard for you to be considerate. But I'm afraid I'll wrong you!"

Xiren has already got up gracefully: "My wife's kindness to me, Xiren will never be able to repay me in a lifetime, so I can only serve the second master wholeheartedly. In the future, I will be blessed to serve Miss Bao again. This is how God loves me! " Mrs. Wang was satisfied with what she said, and felt that giving Xiren to Baoyu was the wisest decision in her life.

Xiren flattered Mrs. Wang and walked through Rongxi Hall to the small courtyard in the northeast corner.All the mothers-in-law who saw her along the way saluted respectfully, each mouthful of "Aunt Hua", her face was bright, and her smile was even more kind.Unconsciously, after a cup of tea, I arrived at the door of Aunt Xue's house. I saw the silence in the courtyard, as if everyone had left.

Xiren poked his head in, but saw several unfamiliar maids and women standing outside the window to serve.Baochai's girl, Ying'er, is serving tea for everyone.

Xiren hesitated for a moment, but thinking of his current status, he felt more confident, straightened the broken hair at the sideburns, and went in without anyone reporting.

When the mother-in-law of the Xing family saw a new daughter-in-law coming, Yinger, who was busy making tea, winked at her.Ying'er didn't understand what it meant at first, but when she heard footsteps behind her, she turned her head and stared.

"Hey, which girl do I think is here? It turns out to be Grandma Hua! Grandma please come to the house."

Xiren smiled and spat: "You hoof, you are also making fun of me like them!" Ying'er sneered in her heart, but she couldn't stop begging for mercy: "My dear sister, don't bother me, I congratulate you before it's too late. Come in quickly, Our girl is talking to Miss Xing!"

Xiren hastily walked back halfway, pulled Ying'er aside, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with Miss Xing coming to see Miss Bao?"

"You are confused. No one in the garden knows that our girl and Miss Xing are the best? I heard that our girl is sick, so Miss Xing came to visit on purpose. Why don't you stay in Yihong Courtyard, why are you here?"

Xiren thought about it, and smiled with Yinger: "Our young master is very good, and suddenly wanted to eat bad goose palms. He remembered the sweetness and sweetness that he ate at my aunt's place that year, so he sent me to ask for it. I wonder if there are any more?"

Ying'er was about to answer when Xue Baochai asked who was outside.Xiren took the opportunity to squeeze through the curtain, and saw Xue Baochai and Xing Xiuyan sitting on the big kang in front of the window, one on the left and one on the right, and hurriedly bowed to salute.When he raised his head, he squinted to pay attention to Xing Xiuyan's attire, which made him feel uncomfortable at first.Even though this Xing Xiuyan didn't live in Jia's residence for long, she has always been popular, even the maids and wives rarely gossip about her.

In the final analysis, it's not all about money!This Miss Xing spends a lot of money, and she never wears the same clothes.When the Xing family lived in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, even the little girls in the Yihong Courtyard liked to run errands, didn't they just reward the Xing family with money?

Goodbye to Xing Xiuyan's attire at this time, Xiren felt even more angry, he just came to send an invitation card, why bother to dress like this, as if he wanted to hang all the jewelry on his body.

While Xi Ren was secretly contemptuous, she didn't notice that she was touching the golden opal ring on her finger that Mrs. Wang had just given her.

Baochai asked Xiren why he came, and when he heard that Baoyu wanted to eat bad goose palms, he ordered Yinger to fetch them: "I even gave the jar to Xiren."

Xiren hastily declined: "It's useless to have too much. I usually don't let him eat it. If he has this goose palm, he must drink wine. Once he eats wine, he will have a good time. The master has already discussed the matter of sending Baoyu to the academy. Who knows when he will be tested! If we eat too much wine, we will also suffer."

Baochai's face was not happy, Xiuyan smiled faintly: "You are too careful, who eats this during the day? It's just for a drink while reading at night. Could it be that your master still sent someone to call Baoyu in the middle of the night?"

Xiren sneered uncomfortably: "I said the same thing, but the young master at home has a twisted temper! Fortunately, the wife sent a message and let us come out of the garden after the Dragon Boat Festival and live in the second grandma's original small courtyard. Follow along You can get to my concubine's place within a few steps from the west corridor, and it will be convenient for Miss Bao to go and talk in the future. Now my wife asks me to help the housekeeper, and I panic, hoping that Miss Bao can teach me more."

When Xue Baochai heard Xiren's words, he turned angry instead of happy.

Both houses knew that Yuanchun chose her and Baoqin to enter the palace, but she was the only one when they left the palace.Concubine Yuan didn't know what to think, but she left Baoqin to accompany her in the palace.Now everyone can understand that Miss Bao has no hope of being a concubine, so it's better to please Miss Qin.

This is exactly what Xi Ren wanted. In the entire Grand View Garden, Xue Baochai is the one who suits her temper the most.Miss Bao has become the housekeeper's grandmother, so she will definitely not treat her badly.

Xiren came to curry favor with good intentions, but who knows that the mud can't support the wall, and he offends people when he speaks!
Baochai ignored her, and fell asleep directly on the pillow.Xiren waited for a while, feeling embarrassed on his face, so he looked at Xing Xiuyan.Xiuyan lowered her head and peeled the hazelnuts on the kang table.

Xiren was ashamed and ashamed, hurriedly exited the inner room, and before he could put down the curtain, he heard the sound of a cup being thrown inside.

The attacker was so frightened that he backed up again and again, his feet were not steady, and he staggered and fell down the steps.Ying'er came up to help her, and Xiren smiled forcefully as she limped and walked out of the yard in a state of desperation.

Inside the house, Xue Baochai was lying on the kang table, her face covered with pear blossoms and rain, and she couldn't help but cry: "Now the whole family is watching my jokes, and even an aunt Xiren dares to mock me. This is self-inflicted. I can't live without it. Fascinated by the heart, I must enter the palace, otherwise where are these gossips."

Xiuyan stuffed the peeled hazelnuts to Baochai, and pulled out a lotus-colored handkerchief from her cuff: "Fool, it's not too bad, you're stage fright first, and besides, what good things are there in the palace?" , don’t you have no way to survive if you don’t enter the palace?”

Xue Baochai raised her head with sobs, took the hazelnuts but refused to eat them: "Mom has also given up on Jia's family, and this time she secretly discussed with me to clean up the old house in the capital, and move out when the turmoil calms down. In the end, we were spineless and flattered the Jia family, so we could not complain that gossip drowned us, so why did my brother and I not live up to our expectations!"
